Fuel types Even with complete combustion the minimum particle emissions are limited by the ash content inicially in the fuel Ash is the general term used to describe the inorganic matter in a fuel, e.g. Fe, Ca, K, Si, etc There is an absence of carbon in its composition It is of a non-biologic origin 28
Fuel types P#12 Consider this coal. Classify the coal according to the Seyler diagram. Identify lower heating value and adiabatic temperature. Coal composition by weight (%wt). Ash is the general term used to describe the inorganic matter in a fuel, e.g. Fe, Ca, K, Si, etc. Fixed carbon is 51% (volatile matter+fixed carbon+ash+moisture=100%). Moisture is water.

Combustion in solids Three stages of mass loss: Drying (removal of water):endothermic; Devolatilization: vaporization of volatile organic compounds, gas-phase diffusion flames; Char combustion: heterogeneous (solid phase fuel, gas phase oxidizer) combustion of fixed carbon. Pyrolysis starts 250-300 ο C 100 ο C 900 ο C Fixed carbon combustion starts Coal particle weight decreases 42

The exhaust gas temperature was measured to be 500 ο C and approximately 1 atm and is subjected to exhaust aftertreatment. The volumetric flow rate of cold water (at 22 ο C) to the heater is 4 L/min. (a) Determine the combustion efficiency. (b) Calculate the temperature of the hot water if the heat exchanger were to have an efficiency of 1.0, i.e., perfect heat transfer.
